REVIEW!
Relationship In Climax
Light creeped its way through the curtains, it grazed over Zack's closed eyes, annoying him enough to awake from his slumber.
He groaned a bit as he laid on his back, azure eyes catching a glimps of the white ceiling. White, plain, there's nothing going on up there. He turned to his side facing his most prized possession.
Aerith laid on her side aswell, she slept soundly, her breathing formed a soft whisper. Her left arm held her small head for support, while her right arm laid before her. Zack smiled at her beauty, she wasn't at least bit unsatisfying.
Her naked torso was exposed, giving Zack a good view of her cleavage, created by her laid out arms,she even sported a nice soft flat belly, that rose at each exhale. The other half of her body was covered by a thick layer of blankets.
He marveled at her body one last time, as he noticed the red marks that formed on her breasts, shoulders, neck, and stomach. With that in mind he too noticed the same reddish marks on his own body.
Their night of love making seemed to have been the most exhilarating time of their lives. Hell it was the most important night of their lives!
Just how did it all happen. . .?
He finaly stepped out of the shower when he realized that time was not on his side.
He cursed under his breath as he quickly laid out the suit he was going to wear for tonight.
He thought for a moment,
Collard shirt and tie? No, that place isn't that fancy. And not me. . . Ah! This'll do!
He found a black turtle neck sweater, that will go excellent with the suit. It was not too formal nor wild for that sort of restaurant, and it fitted Zack's style pretty well.
Finaly he puts on his most comfortable pair of fancy shoes for the night and heads down the flight stairs, through his luxurious living room, out the door, and into his Rolls Royce vehicle. Zack sits on the drivers seat looking for a needed item in his pockets.
"Shit!" he curses again as he exists the car and into his condo. A few minutes and twenty-three seconds later, Zack final steps out of the building with the much needed keys and gets in the vehicle. The car shows the time on its dash board, 6:51pm.
Fuck! I'm late. . . Aerith wait for me . . .
His car pulls down slowly into the street when suddenly he realizes that he forgot something as equally important as his keys. He gets out of the car again,
What ever he's doing, he's lucky Aerith's a patient woman. . .
The car slowly drives through the curved street infront of the restaurant.
There, Zack was greeted by a slender valet, "Would you care to park your vehicle outside of restaurant grounds,Mr.-"
Zack throws the man his keys, "Yeah, yeah here."
The slender man catches the keys after it hits him on his chest. Zack, turns back, ". . .Don't scratch it, ya hear?" and runs off into the restaurant. Leaving behind a disrespected valet, well at least he was paid.
Zack walks up the steps of the restaurant and enters the waiting room. He skips past the people waiting in line, for what seems to be for all eternity, and talks to the woman managing the booth.
"Excuse me, miss?" he calls her with his soothing yet hurried voice.
The woman's eyes pull away from the long list of guests and meets a view much nicer than paper. But as the proffessional she is, the woman simply stated, "Sorry hun, if you want to eat here then you need to get in line. . ."
"I have reservations," Zack said impatiently.
"Oh, well, in that case. What's your name?"
"Zack Fair,"
"Hmmm," she looks through a medium sized book that was hidden under the booth's table. Her finger then trails down on the books papers for the given name.
"Ah, Zack Fair, table for two, right this way," The woman opened the glass door behind her and ushers Zack in.
Both Zack and the woman walked through the restaurant for the assigned table, passing the oversized aquarium, the oversized ice sculptures, the oversized buffet, and passing the bathrooms with the ladies door being gaurded by the oversized line of women.
Finaly, ending up to an area seated best with the restaurants talented orchestra, which was not oversized.
Zack noticed that the small round table assigned to him was empty, he sighs in relief, "Hey, thank's , I can walk on my own now," he thanks her with a charming smile.
The woman blushes, "A waiter will be of service to you, at once," she says and takes her leave. Little does Zack know that it wont be the last time he'd hear from her.
He takes his seat opposite from the orchestra as he waited for his date, for what seems like it was only a second.
"You're late," a soft but determined voice echoed behind him. He turns towards the annoyed woman, he grins, "Excuse me? Last time I checked I made it here first."
Her patience wore thin, "No you didn't! I was here first! You made me wait for an hour!" Her voice rising above everyone else's in the room, off the distance a pianist misses a key.
Zack's whole body turns towards the young woman, she appears to be a few seconds away from crying. Having to realize what he has done, he crosses towards her, wanting to take her small hand and sooth her troubles away. But she reacts differently and swats her hand away from his touch.
"All the time. . . It's all the time, I have to wait for your sorry ass to show up," tears fall from her eyes, staining her cheeks that were covered in blush.
Aerith then realizes that everyone in the restaurant was starring at her predicament, even the pianist, embarrassed she covers her face with her small hands. A table not planted, not far from where they're at sat a woman shaking her head, at disapproval.
Zack's heart melted in sorrow. It was painful to watch his most beloved cry, especially for something that could've been prevented. If only he didn't take that extra time he had taking a nap, things would've been different. All he wants to do now is sooth her.
"Aerith, Aerith come here, I'm sorry," he holds her by her shoulders with one arm, gently seating her right next to him. He pleads with her to stop crying, to forgive him from all the pain he has caused. And yet she still holds her face with the palm of her hands, only now she cries immensly, her breathing rough when a waiter arrives in bad timing. "Um. . .a-are you ready to order?"
"Does this look like I'm ready to order?-"
"Don't listen to him! I'm the one who's hungry!" responded Aerith in a childish manner.
"Ah! Okay, okay!," he begins to rub her back,"Poor thing didn't you eat?" he continues to rub her back gently while Aerith shakes her head, "Okay. . . Aerith?"
He pulls her hands away, "I'm sorry, so, so, very, very, sorry."
Aeriths watery eyes met his own, she hasn't fully realized it yet, but Zack would have so much pain in watching her in a crying state she's in, that his heart burned with guilt and despair. To her all she see's is a man trying so hard for forgiveness,"Oh Zack. . ." she sounded, not forgiving, and yet,
A man from the crowd of customers cried out, "Take him back!"
But Aerith followed her own rules. Aerith slaps his shoulder and speaks in watery tone, "Don't ever do that again."
Zack's embrace tightens around her slender body, "I won't. . . Thank's babe."
He wipes away her wet cheeks with a napkin found on the table, Aerith seems to have gottened tired from all that crying and has done nothing to stop him from doing so.
Never again will he make her wait like that.
A change of tables, because Aerith was too embarrassed to sit with others who saw her throw a fit, and two large plates of lobster eased the couples moment of missery.
They now sit on a round table closes to the oversized aquarium. Every so often the couple takes their eyes off of one another to stare into the aquatic beauty. The tank consisted of lavish organisms with beautiful hues and patterns that Aerith has ever seen.
"Their beautiful," she commented. Zack stares back at the tank, filled with colorful reefs and fish, and back at his lady, "I don't think so, there's something even more beautiful before me than this overated tank."
Aerith blushes, deeper than the color of her make up allows, "Zack. . . I think it's too early for you to compliment me. Judging from what you've done earlier."
"But its true," his eyes gaze at the young woman. Her beautifuly long and wavy chestnut hair was pinned to the side with a rose pin, complimenting her adoring face. Her body wore a light pink dress that covered her most personal areas, leaving her thin arms, shoulders and most of her chest free from the stress of cloth.
"I wouldn't lie about something that's true," Aerith smiles gently.
"I love it when you're happy. So. . . I think it's time to set this right. . ."
Aeriths smile changes into a firm line when Zack gets off his seat and onto one knee. He takes her by the hand, "Aerith. . .," he had something behind his back, she just couldn't see it, quickly her whole character changes. She pressed her lips tighter, and wit a free hand she started to fan herself, "Oh my God it's finaly going to happen isn't it? I. . . told myself. . . I wouldn't start to cry. . ." Aerith sniffles at whats to come.
"Aerith Gainsborough, will you. . ."
"Yes. . ." she said softly. . .
". . .drink this Chateau Cos-d'Estournel with me?" With speed as quick as lightning, Zack whips out a bottle of one of the most expensive wines in the world. BEHOLD! His gift to his mistress.
Aerith stares at the young man before her, still waiting for an answer, she collected herself for a response, "Oh!," she wipes a non-visable tear away and sniffs,"Sure that would be great! I'd love some!" Her voice cracked at the second to last word.
"Ah, great! Waiter! Two glasses!"
Two glasses were brought to the table, Zack carefully opens the bottle of wine, the cork releases from its position and out came the red liquid into the crytal.
"I got this from a friend, I hope you'd love it," he hands her a glass with wine. Zack took his own and called out for cheers,"For the most beautiful woman in the world," his glass hanged in the air for the other to clasp its edge. Aerith laughed shakingly, and followed suit. The crystals chimed and they both cheered for the young womans beauty.
Zack held the glass to his lips, taking a sip of wine. While Aerith swallowed a mouthful, the taste bringing in a feel of satisfaction. A smile formed on her lips, "It's delicious!" she told him. It was no lie, really, Aerith took another gulp from the glass and finished her drink.
"Isn't it? It's my favorite,"
"Whats it made out of?"
"Oh, the usual. . .and, a slice of banora apple,"
"Wow, really? Thats probably why it tastes so good and its so expensive," Aerith holds out her glass.
Zack chuckles and fills her empty cup, she drinks without end and laughs. Laughs at her predicament.
She should of known that Zack wouldn't be ready to make such a huge decision. Being late all the time, dressing inappropriately to an actual fancy banquet. . .Zack . . . is just a rich young man, dating an equally rich young woman, only to please, to sooth, to have fun. . .without commitment. He'd never seek a more solid relatoinship than this.
"Hey Aerith," he calls for her. She stops her depressing thinking for a moment and responds to him, "Yes, Zack?"
Blue eyes gazing into green, "I love you,"
". . ."
Aerith's heart swoons, she never felt so many emotions in one sitting. Love, hate, joy, sadness, everything into one.
Zack grew worried, "Aerith?"
She finaly came back to earth, "I love you too." She said quickly and without feeling, her eyes glued on the fine China. Oh look there's a small printing of a swan on the plate. She heard him call out for her, Aerith turns and finds Zack just inches away from her, his lips looked appealing. Dutifuly Aerith leans in for the kiss, which didn't last very long.
She retreats and lays her chin on the palm of her left hand and sighs, she looks away from Zack, eyes surveying the oversized tank. Leaving Zack all to himself on the other side of the round table, feeling confused and at the same time hurt.
Did I do something wrong? Shit! That wine was very expensive,what did I do?
It grew quiet between them for too long, until a waiter came by with the bill.
"Will that be all, sir?"
Zack didn't say a word, instead he nodded and took out his jet black credit card. Aerith bitter in her soul and mouth,"Zack?"
"Yeah?"
"May I have some more?"
"Sure," He gives the waiter his card and the man takes his leave, "I think I need 'nother too,"
The glasses filled. Aerith drinks again, drowning her pain. Zack drinks and laughs as well, only to mask his true passion for the young woman. The wine being the only cure for their disease was faslty deminishing.
They where absolutely buzzed!
Zack and Aerith waited for hours on end to make the affects of the wine wear off. However, servants and waiters stopped by every few minutes to give them warnings that the restaurant was to close and that they can't be of service no more, therefore they have to leave!
"Fuck. . . I. . .hic. . .don't give a. . .sshhiet. . .you. . .sstay here. . .and ssserve . . .me aand my sssweet heart. . .hic." Zack slurred. Aerith held her head with one arm that was bent on the table. "Shut up. . .since when. .hic. . . an asss. . .hole. . .like you. . .givess orderss!
"Thats it get them out of my restaurant," said the owner.
Both Zack and Aerith where ushered outside of the restaurant.
"Hey. . . Hey we can't go home like thisss. . .I hic. . .pay no demand. . .you too take us home. . ." Even though he was completely and utterly drunk, Zack was still stable enough to know whats smart and whats stupid.
A few minutes later a valet came by and was, well, forced to drive both Zack, Aerith, and Zack's car back home.
It was 10:47pm.
The valet was kind enough to leave them on Zack's side walk.
Aerith was on the floor barely able to stand on her own two feet, while Zack looked around the area and down to his lady.
"Hey. . .you can't leave her here . . . She doesn't live with me." Zack said sounding a little more sober. He watched as the poor valet walked down the street home, as a your 'welcome anyways' the valet flipped Zack off.
Furious, Zack slurred some more, "Yeah, fuck off, you pussy ass bitch. . .ugh. . .the hell to your restaurant. . . you can suck my ballss. . .for all I care. . .No way I'm payin' yo' ass. . .ugh, come on Aerith, let's get inside. Ugh shiet. My frickin' head hurts. . . Hey wait. . .wait what you'd. . .call me?"
He reffered to the woman slowly getting on her feet, using the trash can next to her for support. "What are you talking about? Ugh. . .ouch. . ."
"Back at the restaurant. . .you called me. . . an, an asshole. Well that's the last time I'm ever taking you out!"
Aerith stumbles,"Good, maybe then I wont have to expect anything from you!" she said in a vile tone, she then did the unthinkable when she threw her purse at Zack, hitting him straight in the face. The impact made him lose his balance, and down he fell to the ground. Aerith begins to laugh.
Zacks anger took over, he quickly regained his footing, and walked towards the laughing woman, "You bitch, I'll show you, not to laugh at me,"
Aerith laughs even harder, "Ooh, what are you going to do? Is the puppy upset? Oh I'm so scared." Her laughing ceases when Zack grew close enough to grab a fistful of her chestnut hair. Aerith wailed in pain and that was all.
The second she wailed in pain, was the second Zack felt horrible in his stomach and heart. "Let me go!" demanded Aerith. Zacks hand lets go of Aerith, the young woman stumbles as she tries to find her footing. She then started out into the street. Zack quickly retaliates by grabbing hold of her arm, "Where do you think you're going at this time of night?"
"Home! I'm sick of being stuck with an asshole who doesn't care about anyone other than himself!" Aerith yells at the man, she walks past him into the night.
"Aerith, Aerith wait come back! Aerith I'm sorry-"
"Sorry, thats all I ever hear coming through your mouth! Sorry Aerith I'm so, so, very, very sorry!" She mimicked him from before, Zack stood motionless as she continued, "Well I'm sorry too! I'm sorry I've been apart of your stupid life for four years, without any love or passion I deserve! I'm sorry I spent four years of my life to an idiot who has commitment issues with his girl and not with his stupid job! I am truthfuly sorry! Sorry! I'm Sorry!" Aerith begins to cry, tears rolling down her cheeks increasingly, she wipes them away. Angered and bittered.
Zacks heart felt crushed, stepped on, thrown into boiling lake of lava, he felt like shit. For the first time in this whole evening tears finaly fell from his eyes.
"You think . . . I don't care about you? You think I dont love you?" he cries.
Aerith turns to the weeping man, she felt somber when he fell to his knees and cried. "I'm sorry I'm not the perfect man you always wanted, I'm sorry I'm not there when you want me to be, I'm sorry I don't make love to you as often as I should, I'm sorry that this night was a disasster, I'm sorry for letting you down like that. I'm sorry for appologizing too much! Just, please,"He pleads, Aerith stays at her toes, not giving into one second.
". . . Aerith don't go, I love you too much," he holds out a hand.
Aerith sniffles again, "You're so stupid," She sprints towards his kneeling body, passing his opened hand to give him a proper embrace. "I've put up with you for four years, I'm not letting you go that easily."
Zacks arms remotely holds her slender body tightly, as if she could vanish into thin air. "Aerith, I love you," he repeats, Aerith cries into his shoulder, "I love you too,"
A few seconds ago Zack was a drunken bastard,who didn't fully understand how to love his woman, now, he has a lot to make up for.
A few seconds ago Aerith was enraged and bitter, desperately needing love, but she stayed with the man, now, theres no turning back.
